During the quarantine in 2020, the two friends Mariano Llinás and Matías Piñeiro sent each other video letters – 8 in total, 4 each of them – to create a compilation of ideas, thoughts and exchanges commissioned by Sergi Álvarez Riosalido for La Casa Encendida (Madrid). Llinás is in Argentina and Piñeiro is in New York, and they begin to order each other portraits of places, reflections on artists, ideas on cinema.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Both directors emerged from Argentina's 'New Argentine Cinema,' making this correspondence a state-of-the-movement document filmed in real-time isolation.
The actresses appearing as 'themselves' are recurring collaborators — Paredes and Gamboa are essentially Llinás's muses, while Carricajo anchors Piñeiro's Shakespearean experiments.
